"The food was very well cooked. Sauces were tasty and I even liked the Beans of the National dish. Everything everyone has said about this restaurant's food is true. The reason why I don't give it a full five stars is because they added the tip right into our check! What? That was a little tricky. What makes them think that four people should have tip inclusi..."

"My wife and I have driven by this place many a time on our way to church, and never really given it much thought. So one day, we decide to check it out. It was really cold outside...and upon walking into the restaurant, it was still cold! Talk about poor heating. Almost everyone in the restaurant was still wearing their jackets from outside! Not cool. Or sho..." Read more

"Friends took me here for my birthday a few weeks back. I left a fan. First off, I'd strongly recommend forgoing lunch if you're stopping by here early - no one in our party cleaned plate. Of note, the smoothies (they don't serve alcohol), mariscada, shrimp moqueca & shrimp bobo were all warmly accepted. While they do offer vegetarian options, the Vegan of..." Read more

"I love Muqueca. Shrimp muqueca and Fish muqueca are very addictive. Friend plantain was okay for me and their shakes are not that great."

"I ated too much at Muqueca... I skipped breakfast this morning, mostly due to the decadently delicious chocolate flan that topped off my meal here last night. I had the FEIJOADA COMPLETA which contains a few of my favor-ite things - including black beans, various types of meats, collard greens, rice and plantains. The beans and meats come as a stew in a hot..." Read more

"Went here for the first time a few weeks ago and was very happy to find somewhere new and tasty. If you're seated near the counter in winter wear layers, both on top and bottom. The heating vent/radiator will scald your legs if you're not too careful, but simultaneously your torso may get chilly from the door opening onto the street. That said, try the Maris..." Read more

"This place gets crowded on weekend nights, so plan for a potential wait, but if you are looking for affordable and well-prepared food around Inman or Central, this is the spot. While we didn't try the restaurant's namesake, the mariscada (in the northeast brazil style, with coconut milk, cilantro and served with farofa and stewed, sweet plantains) was won..." Read more

"I can not BELIEVE I lived minutes away from this place forever and never even considered going in. After seeing it pop up on the main page the other day it was my first choice for dinner with my out of town visitor -- a foodie fish-head, often unsatisfied with the places I (a vegetarian) typically haunt. Quickly seated, quickly served, but slow to leave with..." Read more

"Excellent for lunch! I'd have thought Brazilian would be a very meaty cuisine, and, being a non-meat eater, a waste of time. But I accompanied a fellow vegetarian and a vegan here for lunch and found a good selection and a flexible menu. They even charged less for veg-a-fied menu items. I was conservative and ordered the vegetarian plate, which was a c..." Read more

"Yum! Small Brazilian restaurant with emphasis on seafood. Prices are not too bad, most expensive entree is under $18, but that doesn't count the market prices for some of the seafood. Our group of 7 had to wait ~30 min for a large enough table, but it was worth it! It is probably best for groups of 5 or less. We started with the fried Yucca appetizer whic..." Read more

"Given that I'd spent a month in Brazil's northeast, I thought I would give Muqueca's muquecas a try. Especially to compare with the muquecas I had on the beach in Morro de Sao Paulo. I chose the fish muqueca while a friend had the shrimp. All in all, very good, and what lacked in flavor (don't get me wrong, there was a fair amount of it) was more than mad..." Read more

"the food is filling and delish; definitely authentic. the muqueca is indeed quite tasty. the menu begs to be sampled widely, but factoring in the small dining space, i would say that a group of 3-4 is optimal here."

"I've never found the traditional "comfort food" staples of America all that comforting. Yes apple pie and fruit cobblers are warm and fuzzy, but fried chicken, meatloaf, Mac & Cheese? Meh. I feel less comforted and more bloated or lethargic after eating that stuff. Comfort food should be easy to eat, and not heavy. Moquecas fit the bill for me, and is u..." Read more
